I know holidays can be difficult when dealing with dementia for both those diagnosed and their families. Traditions over time may need adjusting. What was once fun can be draining and is now just too much to be part of. Keep in mind, your relationships will adjust as they have during all of your life. Find things that bring you and your loved one with dementia a sense of peace and calm.

Let yourself revel in that.

Soak it in and relax.

There really isn’t anything more beautiful and fulfilling than just feeling comfortable with who re and who you are with.
